Wow! I always suspected a Beta Blocker could be used for Anxiety in certain cases but my conversation with any doctor I have known always debunked me.. I have from what I understand is Stage 1 Hypertension due to environmental/mental issues.. Pdoc says it's a medical issue, the regular doctor tells me it's psychological and neither will treat me for it.. I take a few natural supplements that help with anxiety and it helps with my BP as well.. Later I discovered the same supplement is used to treat BP naturally.. I just can't get my doctors to agree.. I am extremely high strung and wound up like a coil.. I always wondered if they were correlated..
